Branded by the circumstance.Leaving an indelible mark of grimace upon our daily face.Boiled with frustration.Secretly heated with contempt.Sacrificing ourself for an unpleasant reward in our private hell.But we cannot let go.Because this is our daily bread.It is all we have.
Yes, this is heat. The human value here is intensity, the steam is an abstracting force, and the incongruity is that we are about the get a basket of blazing hot buns right in our lap. Another simple, powerfully expressive image. Black and white has abstracted it further, making this image less real, and more symbolic of all who must toil in very unpleasant situations, yet still endure.
